Message:: [QUOTE="coinquest1961, post: 3036520, member: 1375"]I know Larry and think he's a good guy. And SEGS takes a lot of undeserved criticism IMO though they may not quite rank up there with the "big boys." I slabbed with SEGS right after they started grading and was always pleased with the grades I got with just a few exceptions. I had to quit slabbing due to the aforementioned bad market acceptance for the slab and several of the coins I broke out of SEGS slabs (a tough thing to do BTW) actually upgraded at PCGS. A smaller number downgraded by a point or two but most stayed at the same grade. Larry has had some significant health problems (pain) for a number of years which may account for his rude behavior. I've known him for over 20 years and he's always been quite cordial with me. CLV1 has hit the nail on the head-buy the coin and not the slab. Unfortunately it's gotten to the point that many collectors can't do that anymore.[/QUOTE]
